Perfect Example

The Slavs possess a rich cultural and historical heritage, and a high creative potential. They are closely connected with nature, and virtually all the traditional customs and rituals are derived from the principle of this unity. They are easy to adapt and become accustomed to other ethnic milieus. An art form cannot be questioned – your origin, the place you hail from. The careful attention the Slavs pay to composers, to the melancholy soul, has a physical tenderness. Katarzyna, Andrei and Ondřej are choreographers endowed with unique visions and talent, artists characterised by an emotional purpose.

Moods are the way each of us experiences life in this world.
Moods are connected with our very being.

Enjoyment is the thing.

To reach this goal, it’s necessary to take drastic measures, and the individual has to curb his/her necessities in the name of the people.
But the longer this goes on the more urgently the questions arise: Is this really in the best interest of the people? Is there really a system, or is it just an experiment? Are the people just guinea pigs in search of an answer to the question: How close to being one can we get before different opinions tear everything apart? And how much are we willing to pay, to set the perfect example?
